IPower Review: IPower Web Hosting

IPower web hosting is a web hosting provider that offers you the quality of service that has allowed them to host over seven hundred thousand web sites so far. The IPower web hosting plans are largely in the less than ten dollar price range, and you can get a lot of great features with your web hosting plans that allow you to have the kind of site that you need with flexibility to use current scripts and design elements without having to have a lot of advanced technical skills.

Besides the basic web hosting plans that IPower web hosting offers for Shared Hosting, they also have Virtual and Dedicated Servers on offer for people who want a more advanced experience. With their Shared Hosting, IPower web hosting offers three basic plans:

• The IPower Starter Plan
• The IPower Pro Plan
• The IPower Pro Plus

Of these, only the IPower Pro Plus plan goes over ten dollars. The two versions of the Pro plan, in addition to a fair (though on the somewhat small side) amount of disk space and bandwidth, offer you Google and Yahoo credit for advertising on their respective web ad programs.

The cash value that is offered to you for these advertising sources more than makes up for the slight additional monthly price in the more advanced plans, so if you are building a web site that is only for your friends and family you might want to go with the Starter plan, but it is basically just there to provide a lowest option – most people who are serious about creating a web site that will receive regular visitors are going to want to go with the higher plans so that they can take advantage of the advertising dollars and get the discount.

The Virtual Server and Dedicated Server plans that IPower web hosting provides allow you to get a much more full featured web hosting experience, with a lot more disk space, data transfer, and burstable RAM which keeps your web site running smoothly even during periods of high traffic. IP addresses are included in both the virtual server and dedicated server plans, so that you can have your own IP address and a more professional, stable and secure presentation for your web site.

While the Virtual Server and Dedicated Server plans from IPower web hosting are considerably more pricey than the Shared Hosting plans (which are on the downright cheap side), the level of quality that you can come to expect from these plans in today's environment of strong competition between web hosting providers, means that you should be able to enjoy all of the reliability, scalability and features that you want to put together a quality web site and get professional results.

I hope that this IPower web hosting review has given you a good feeling for the kind of web hosting options that are available from IPower and that I have helped you come closer to a decision for your next source of hosting on the world wide web!
